Biomedical Knowledge Base

Biomedical knowledge bases aim to organize and make accessible the vast amount of information in the biomedical domain, facilitating research and applications. Current research focuses on improving methods for linking textual mentions of biomedical entities (e.g., diseases, drugs) to their corresponding concepts within these knowledge bases, often employing large language models and techniques like self-alignment and hierarchy-oriented prompting to enhance accuracy and efficiency. Challenges remain in ensuring factual accuracy and addressing biases in these models, particularly when dealing with languages other than English. Ultimately, improved biomedical knowledge bases promise to accelerate scientific discovery and inform better decision-making in healthcare and related fields.
